With the exception of his one-year stint in Philadelphia in 2013, Patrick Chung was a core member of the New England Patriots’ defensive backfield each season between 2009 and 2019. He appeared in 163 games for the organization, and established himself as not just one of the better strong safeties in football but a team leader as well.
After opting out of the 2020 season, however, Chung announced his retirement earlier this year. But despite the veteran calling it a career, his impact on the New England locker room can still be felt. Just ask second-year defenders Josh Uche and Kyle Dugger.
